OS X: Quickly recording your thoughts or adding notes in Evernote just got a lot easier for Mac users. Now you can enter text or drag files straight onto the Quick Note pane in the menu bar.

To quickly add a note, click on the elephant in the menu bar or use the Ctrl+Cmd+N keyboard shortcut. The dropdown window offers a scratchpad for your new note. When you're done, hit Cmd+Return and it'll save to Evernote. It's really the quickest and simplest way to get that thought out of your head and into the all-purpose, pretty amazing tool.
